assimilate radar radial winds with vertical velocity as a control variable

Submitted by huihuojia on Thu, 09/30/2021 - 19:39

Hi, 

 

I have reading several papers about using GSI to assimilate the radar radial velocity with the vertical velocity "w". But even when I check the latest version of GSI, I didn't see the "w" as the control variable. 

Are there some functionalities to do this?

Hi Jia,

I believe there were some very recent additions to GSI related to this radar DA with the vertical velocity. I suggest looking at commits from this year on this topic in the authoritative repository to see where it was added.
